Taj Mahal - Black Jack Davey lyrics

Blackjack Davey come a ridin' through the woods Singin' him a song so gayly Well he played and he sang 'Til the green woods rang And he charmed the heart of a lady he charmed the heart of a lady he charmed the heart of a lady Oh, won't you come along and be my pretty little missy Come along and be my lady She say, Ha! You know I know it's right, I'm gonna sleep on the ground tonight With my man Blackjack Davey With my man Blackjack Davey Oh, with my man Blackjack Davey Who gonna shoe your pretty little feet now? Who gonna rub your head? Who gonna kiss your ruby red lips When I'm some long distant land, baby When I'm some long distant land When I'm a long distant land She say Papa gonna shoe my pretty little feet now Sister gonna rub my head I will live in my mama's house And I will not need no spouse When you're in your long distant land, baby When you're in your long distant land, baby When you're in your long distant land What did he do? He soothed her with his music He soothed her with his song He sung 'til he was nearly crazy She said ha! You know I know it's right But I'm gonna sleep on the ground tonight With my man Blackjack Davey With my man Blackjack Davey Oh, with my man Blackjack Davey Ride, Chile, Ride
